Chapter 6:

I would rather have less digital technologies in the classroom because I wouldn’t want my students to get distracted by all of the technology.  It bothers me when I am sitting in class and I look over at someone wwho has there laptop and they are on Facebook or they are shopping.  They are supposed to be paying attention.  I don’t want this to happen in my classroom.  I may use a smart board or projectors because they are easy to use and I know the students are not on Facebook.

Chapter 11:

One traditional audio technology is a cd player and one emerging audio technology is a MP3 player.  I am not really sure how I would use these things in my classroom because I want to be a high school math teacher.  Math teachers usually stand up at the board and write notes while they talk.  One traditional technology is an overhead projector and an emerging technology is a digital projector.  I would use both of these for notes.  I could use the overhead projector for writing nootes as I speak and I would use the digital projector for powerpoints.
